- Bermuda Bowl RR6: USA1 vs. SWEDEN
- I couldn't watch the match so thank you very much for the summary. Just a minor detail, Sylvan-Wrang do not play a strong club as you say concerning #24 but rather a natural system with an unbalanced diamond opener (which is probably why he opened the ten count). This ...
- Opening at the 7-level
- Junior Europeans in Poland 2013. East picks up AKQT9 AKQ A AKQ5 as dealer. Many took their first (?) chance at opening 7NT and did hit Jxx of spades and three low clubs in dummy. With clubs breaking, 13 tricks were easy. Several pairs reached the slightly better 7♠. http ...
- Canapé jump overcalls... really?
- I don't have the same experience with them as Ulf does (for natural reasons) but have played them for about five years with good results. I like to only use them when they show specific suits, just like I prefer our Michael's to show specific 5-5:s, so ...
- So Cool ... And Kind of Mean
- This is one of the best things I've read here (which obviously says a lot).

- The Cavendish is played as IMP Pairs.
- Great lead, partner!
- See Nick above. About doubleton leads, we have to agree on disagreeing :)

- You don't, just like you don't after partner has opened 1NT.
- ATB or should I say... advice preferred? :)
- We play Gazzilli but I don't think the West hand is worth the upgrade to 3♦ with such weak diamonds. It's still a great convention that helps with other problems, however.
- Have you ever seen this auction before?
- My opponent's at the White House Junior Internationals did bid 2♣ - 3♣ 4♣ - 5♣ 6♣ - Pass a couple of years ago.
